Chapter 175: Our Wangfei
The black raven heard the whistle, flew down, and landed gently on Liushiliu’s left arm. Liushiliu stroked the wet feathers of the raven a few times before opening the small leather bag tied to its leg.
Liushiliu took out a small bamboo tube, opened it, and took out a piece of paper. He unfolded the paper and read the secret message. When he was focused on the secret message, the black raven jumped onto his shoulder to rest.
A few seconds later, Liushiliu finished reading the secret message, and his eyes lit up. He then took out a lighter and burned the letter.
After putting away the lighter, Liushiliu looked at Duan Yixin, who was busy moving the things from the bullock cart to the wooden building and thought, ’Master said he was on his way to Yunshan Village. Could it be that he finally decided to meet Miss Duan? Now that Master has finally taken action, doesn’t it mean that Miss Duan will become Master’s wife in the near future? Should I start calling her Wangfei or Mistress? I wonder which one she prefers.’
Just when Liushiliu was thinking about what title he should use to address Duan Yinxin in the future, the black raven pecked his ear. Feeling the pain, Liushiliu returned from his thoughts.
He flicked the black raven’s forehead lightly and asked, "Why are you pecking at me?"
The black raven stared at him as if accusing him of bullying it before crowing a few times. Feeling the dissatisfaction of the black raven, Liushiliu took out a bunch of nuts from the leather bag given by Duan Yixin.
He brought the nuts to the black raven’s mouth and said, "You have to remember that these are given to you by our Wangfei."
After saying that, Liushiliu thought it would be better to call Duan Yixin Wangfei instead of Mistress. Calling her Wangfei also means that he accepts her as his Master’s wife and his equal. What’s more, he knew that many women wanted to be his Master’s Wangfei. From this point alone, Liushiliu was convinced that the title of Yan Wangfei was of great significance to women.
Thinking of this, he thought, ’Mhm, I should start practicing calling Miss Duan Wangfei from now on.’
While Liushiliu was satisfied with the title he chose, the black raven stopped eating, raised its head, and stared at him. Seeing its reaction, Liushiliu pointed at Duan Yixin and said, "She is our Wangfei, and her name is Duan Yixin. Since you have eaten the food she gave you, you must protect her and obey her orders in the future. Do you understand me?"
